This is the third Activision game that hasn't been released, showing that the publisher has a clear lack of faith in the Aussie market. 007 Legends and The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct are the other two titles that won't ever see the bright Australian sunshine.

A reason for the latest absence was not given by Activision.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Ultimate Edition is an updated version of the game that has been on other platforms since last year. It features all of the DLC from the original and is set to be released on 5th and 8th March in North America and Europe respectively.

This will be a shame for Australian gamers who were hoping to pick up a copy of the game, especially with the news coming so close to its release date.

What are your thoughts on this, Australia? Are you disappointed to be missing out on yet another Activision title? Fire off in the comments below.

If my Aussie friends are anything to go by they're pretty used to buying all sorts of things from British internet sites now anyway but really that only further begs the question. When there are no further costs associated beyond shipping then why not make it available there?

When it comes to PS360 we very rarely not have something come out, but in saying that this is in terms of the past 4 years, after they had established user bases.

I don't think many consoles sell very well to begin with in Australia (this is just off the top of my head remembering numbers, please correct me if I am wrong!) so Activision clearly don't see a profit in releasing it on Wii U if there's no Wii Us currently in Australian homes.

No biggie. Would be nice to see on shelves. I wasn't planning to buy it. What I am more concerned about is the Aussie eShop pricing, and why I get charged an international transaction fee from my bank for buying eshop games from the Australian eShop.

And why Nintendo Australia don't have an email address so I can voice my concerns about these matters, among others, like having to hard reset my WiiU nearly every time I use Miiverse because my system freezes.

@TheAdzaThe Australia and New Zealand markets are classed as part of Europe by the big three. Nintendo Europe is based in Germany, which is likely why there's a currency exchange fee charged. For 3DS eShop, I'd recommend doing what I do and change your profile location to Ireland so you can get the games cheaper.

No big, really. With prices the way they are over here it was always cheaper to just import from EU. Last game I actually bought over here was Scribblenauts Unlimited solely because I COULDN'T import it.
